Help!....Really Confuzzedd...!

[AnonymousPoster]

Hello errrmmmm,
Well thers been something thats been bugging me for quite some time now, and its going to sound really ridiculous....but ive come across a lot of cases where people get tested by Allah through trials and tribulations, and those who go through trials and tribualtions turn to Allah Swt and increase their imaan.

well with my case there's absoulty nothing wrong in my life and allhamdilliah I am happy and content with everything I have...and I dont think Ive've ever had any major problems.....Is this a bad thing?....Or shud I just thank Allah Swt and do shukar...?

Because sometimes I think why me....because it wasn't that long I that used to listen to music and I didn't preform my daily namaaz's and I dnt wear hijab (Although I am now trying to)...I never realised up till now how blessed I am...I have really amazing parents as well...and I actually have a lot...
example: Clothes, Im generally clever, and I wouldn't say im ugly either...

But...
Do I deserve to be happy?
Especailly after all the sins I have done?
Im really confused....
I know i shudn't Question why I've been blessed because its a good thing...But why me?

Assalamu Alaikum

Take it easy sis/bro... EVERYbody makes mistakes, but we beg Allah the exalted to forgive these sins, im not saying that it's ok to sin, im just saying, if you made sins, and now you really feel bad, and repent, then Allah will forgive! (If he wills)

If you are blessed, be happy, it's maybe a Du3a coming true, you maybe made a du3a in the past asking Allah to give you much in this life and the hereafter,, Allahu Alam, you shouldn't feel bad bcs of the blessings of Allah...Now, off course you have to ponder over this, to not be too expensive and not to brag about it and so on, but I would feel happy if I had as much as you!

Massalaam sis/bro!

Some of the hardest trials produce very little if any noticeable burden or pain.

Quite possibly you are facing much greater trials than many of us here. The most difficult trials are not always immediately visible.

Temptation

Arrogance

Gluttony

Laziness


Be very grateful for what you have and praise Allaah(swt) for gifting you. But, do not succumb into the pit fall of assumption and egotism. Those become painful trials and difficult to overcome.

 

[Ibn Abi Ahmed]

Tests are not necessarily the bad things that happen to us, they can be good things as well. Allaah says in the Qur'an {And We test you with evil and with good as trial.}[al-Anbiya; 35] So fitan can come as good things and bad things. They can be wealth, children, beauty, friends, or they can be loss of life or wealth, problems etc.

This is why, when the throne of the Queen of Sheba was placed before Prophet Sulayman in the twinkling of an eye, he said: {"This is from the favor of my Lord to test me whether I will be grateful or ungrateful. And whoever is grateful - his gratitude is only for [the benefit of] himself. And whoever is ungrateful - then indeed, my Lord is Free of need and Generous."}[an-Naml; 40]

He also made a dua' when he understood the speech of the ant which Allaah recorded in the Qur'an: {"My Lord, enable me to be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents and to do righteousness of which You approve. And admit me by Your mercy into [the ranks of] Your righteous servants."}[an-Naml; 19]

So always be thankful, down to earth, and use the blessings that Allaah has given you in the proper way. It will only lead to increase because Allaah says: {And when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe.'}[Ibrahim; 7]

read this insha Allah;

http://www.islamicboard.com/new-muslims/56259-happiness-islam.html


it shows that the life of a muslim is good and easy due to their faith in Allah. that's a blessing from him, so be thankful to Him for that... but when hardship comes, then you should be patient and rely on Allah.

it also explains that the disbelievers will have a hard life due to their sins and rejection.
